The pKb of dimethyl amine and pKa of acetic acid are 3.27 and 4.77 respectively at T (K). The correct option for the pH of dimethyl ammonium acetate solution is :
- 6.25
- 8.50
- 5.50
- 7.75
Answer
(4) 7.75
Solution
Dimethylammonium acetate is a salt of a weak acid and a weak base. As per NCERT:
pH = 7 + 12(pKa - pKb)
pH = 7 + 12(4.77 - 3.27)
pH = 7 + 0.75 = 7.75
